Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

In the plaza of the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall, four figures descended.

It was Fang Tangjing from the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall, Liang Yuan from the Green Dragon Martial Arts School, Wu Jinfeng from the Qilin Martial Arts School, and Wu Yingxi.

”Congratulations, Master Lin!”

”Congratulations, congratulations, Master Lin!”

”Congratulations to Master Lin on successfully entering the Mystic Realm Sect!”

The four approached Lin Mo with smiles, clasping their fists in salute.

”Master Fang, Master Liang, Master Wu,” Lin Mo clasped his hands and greeted them with a smile.

The Four Great Martial Arts Schools manage the Martial Alliance, jointly guarding the Nine Continents Secret Realm, which gives them the capital to contend with the Hidden Sect, Demon Sect, and foreign forces. Lin Mo swept his Divine Thought over the four; Fang Tangjing’s strength improved the fastest, having already stepped into the Moon Wheel Realm Middle Stage, while Liang Yuan reached the Moon Wheel Realm Early Stage. As for Wu Jinfeng and Wu Yingxi, their strength was slightly weaker as they needed to handle the miscellaneous affairs of the Martial Alliance

and didn’t have ample time to cultivate. ”Xiao Mo, congratulations on ranking seventh in the Golden Secret Realm and joining the Mystic Realm Sect. You’ll surely obtain many cultivation resources in the future, bolstering our New Human Martial Alliance. Those from the Hidden Sect and Demon Sect won’t dare to act presumptuously against us,” Fang Tangjing said with a smile.

”Let’s not talk here. Let’s go to the Qilin Martial Arts School, where I’ve specially arranged a feast. We won’t return sober today,” Wu Jinfeng suggested.

At the Qilin Martial Arts School, Wu Jinfeng and Wu Yingxi had already prepared a banquet, filled with a spread of mountain and aquatic delicacies.

The group took their seats, and Shijian also sat beside Lin Mo.

”These are some fierce beasts we’ve hunted, some of the meat is quite good, so we had them prepared as dishes,” Wu Yingxi explained.

Lin Mo glanced around; indeed, the dishes laid out were not ordinary chicken, duck, pork, or lamb, but rather meat from special fierce beasts. The aroma was enticing, tempting the taste buds.

Though cultivators at their level can go without meals for long periods, having some food to satisfy one’s appetite is also a pleasant option.

”And here’s some fruit wine I brewed with Fire Spirit Fruit found in the mountains, give it a try.”

Liang Yuan smiled and produced a fiery red gourd, pouring wine for everyone.

The fragrance of the wine was overwhelming as Lin Mo lifted the cup and downed it in one gulp, feeling as if he’d swallowed flames, his throat and esophagus tingling with the fiery sensation, causing the True Yuan and Spiritual Energy within him to become lively.

”Master Lin, this wine is of fire nature, quite strong; it boosts cultivation effects but can lead to True Qi turmoil if consumed excessively,” Liang Yuan cautioned.

Lin Mo immediately suppressed the aftereffects of the wine with True Yuan and Spiritual Energy, smiling as he remarked, ”It tastes good.”

While chatting and enjoying their food and drink, the conversation inevitably turned to the post-Nine Continents Secret Realm developments, especially since Lin Mo’s departure from Yu Lan Star meant the Nine Continents Secret Realm would be short one formidable fighter. ”Actually, Xiao Mo joining the Mystic Realm Sect is a good thing. As our New Human Martial Alliance’s representative, once he’s there, the other sects may clash with us, but they won’t dare to start a direct war,” Wu Jinfeng said, sipping the fruit wine.

Lin Mo understood the strength of these individuals, though not exceptionally genius-level, should be enough to enter the top 200 of the Golden Trial, naturally qualifying them to join the Mystic Realm Sect.

However, Fang Tangjing and the others couldn’t rest easy about the New Human Martial Alliance, which currently was equivalent to an infant in its infancy, fairly weak compared to other Major Sects and Great Forces.

”Frankly, I also want to participate in the Golden Secret Realm Trial, but I’m concerned about the martial arts hall. Once I train a successor, we can participate in the Golden Secret Realm Trial,” Fang Tangjing said.

The group reveled in their drink and camaraderie; Lin Mo hadn’t relaxed like this in a long time.

”Master Liang, there’s something I need to discuss,” Lin Mo placed his cup down, his gaze resting on Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan looked confused, ”Xiao Mo, just speak your mind.”

”There are people in the Green Dragon Martial Arts School colluding with the Yin Yang Shishen Sect. Bring Luo Danhua here,” Lin Mo casually said.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan’s body slightly trembled; after a moment’s silence, he transmitted his True Yuan message.

Wu Jinfeng, Wu Yingxi, and Fang Tangjing all paused, stunned.

”Xiao Mo, how did you know Luo Danhua and the Yin Yang Shishen Sect were colluding?” Wu Yingxi asked, furrowing his brow.

Lin Mo gradually recounted the events within the Golden Secret Realm, where he discovered, through searching Pei Yongjun’s soul after killing him, that Luo Danhua had been secretly communicating with Pei Yongjun for years.

A short while later, Luo Danhua arrived at the Qilin Martial Arts School, standing before everyone and respectfully calling out, ”Master, Master Fang, both Master Wu’s... Master Lin.”

When Luo Danhua saw Lin Mo, a shadow of indifference flashed across his eyes, his heart filled with unease.

Upon seeing the Golden Secret Realm Trial results announced, Luo Danhua knew Lin Mo had survived, yet Pei Yongjun had perished. At that moment, Luo Danhua was so frightened he nearly fled the Green Dragon Martial Arts School.

However, he chose not to leave, deciding to gamble, thinking that while Pei Yongjun died, Lin Mo might not be responsible, and even if he was, he might not be aware of his collusion with Pei Yongjun.

This mindset of wishful thinking prevented Luo Danhua from leaving, but now, seeing Lin Mo, he suddenly regretted it, sensing that things might take a bad turn.

”Luo Danhua, you have a good mental fortitude not fleeing,” Lin Mo coldly stared at him, as if looking at a corpse.

Luo Danhua raised his head to meet Lin Mo’s gaze and clasped his hands, ”Master Lin, what do you mean by that?” Lin Mo was at odds with the Luo Family, having killed his brother Luo Shaoshou before Luo Danhua’s eyes. Over the years, Luo Danhua had tirelessly cultivated, striving to surpass Lin Mo. But now, Lin Mo, as a disciple of the Mystic Realm Sect, ranked seventh among the Golden Secret Realm geniuses, had widened the gap between them substantially.

”You beast, kneel and admit your wrongs,” Liang Yuan stood up, his face contorted, shouting angrily.

Powerful True Yuan suppression instantly bore down on Luo Danhua, who couldn’t withstand the pressure, his knees buckling, dropping to the ground with a thud.

”Master...” Luo Danhua’s face contorted in agony.

”You colluded with the Yin Yang Shishen Sect, revealing the Nine Continents Secret Realm and Martial Alliance data to them, even plotting to have them kill me,” Lin Mo said indifferently.

”Master, he’s slandering me. I didn’t do anything,” Luo Danhua’s facial muscles twisted as he argued, looking at Liang Yuan.

”Even now, you won’t admit your wrongs!”

Liang Yuan kicked Luo Danhua’s chest, the latter catapulted onto the stone slab, flying back tens of meters, spitting blood.

”Master Lin is a man of great stature, to kill you merely requires a flick of his finger—no need to slander you,” Liang Yuan retorted, trembling with anger.

Luo Danhua, as the chief disciple of the Green Dragon Martial Arts School, bore Liang Yuan’s expectations and was treated like his own. Now, knowing Luo Danhua colluded with the Yin Yang Shishen Sect, he felt pained beyond any other.

”Master, I was wrong... spare me, I won’t dare again,” Luo Danhua pleaded, realizing his exposure, prostrating himself deeply.

”Master Lin, I’m his mentor; poor education ease’s the teacher’s liability. The disciple has faults, yet the master’s at fault too. I hope Mr. Lin will spare him; I’ll banish him from the Green Dragon Martial Arts School,” Liang Yuan said, kneeling with one knee, beseeching earnestly.
